History WesternAnimation / ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated

** [[JohnnyQuest Dr. Quest]] [[AWizardDidIt did it]]. ImSerious.

The show is a notable spin on the universe, as it takes elements from nearly all that came before it, most strongly from the original series, while adding a somewhat edgier, more modern spin, with what you might call more ironic humor. The show is aimed at an older audience than usual, and its general feel is more mature than the Scooby Universe usually gets, with lots of lampshade hangings, and ironic and sometimes darker humor -- in general, having fun with the conventions of the franchise.

* ComedicSociopathy: After causing a patient to flatline due to a panic attack, all the gang merely walks out with Freddy commenting that the questioning had gone well.

** Hot Dog Water made a brief apperance in episode 18. Episode 21 had her be an employee [[spoiler: and attacker]] of the amusment park that the manticore attacks. She's also not exactly best of friends with Velma.
** There is also Ernesto and his group of enviormentalists. They first appear in episode 12. They appear again in episode 20 [[spoiler: as the Fish Freaks]].

* {{Jetpack}}: Both of the Kung Fu wizards who turned Crystal Cove into a battle ground in episode 18 had jetpacks in their costumes enabling them to fly.

** Fred's magazine "Traps Illustrated" has a woman in a bikini on the cover. His reaction to Daphne finding it is similar to someone hiding porn. It's a reference to ''Sports Illustrated'' with its famous swimsuit issues, though Fred's [[IReadItForTheArticles "I read it for the articles"]] invokes ''Playboy''. Then there's the alternate meaning of [[DroppedABridgetOnHim traps]].

* WeCouldHaveAvoidedAllThis: [[spoiler: Velma, why didn't you explain to the gang that you knew who Angel Dynamite was? Do you realize what you have caused inbetween episodes 20 and 26?!]]

* {{Crossover}}: "The Mystery Solvers Club State Finals" features Scooby-Doo teaming up with the sidekicks from ''SpeedBuggy'', ''{{Jabberjaw}}'', ''TheFunkyPhantom'' and ''CaptainCavemanAndTheTeenAngels''.

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: At the end of Episode 18, [[spoiler: it turned out that the girl the dude in the costume was chasing was also after the Dragon's Heart ruby; she'd used [[LawfulStupid Shaggy's]] crush on her to manipulate [[XanatosGambit the gang into taking out the competition.]]]]

* ShouldntWeBeInSchool: The gang is still in high school, but cuts class frequently.

* HoYay: Mayor Jones and Sheriff Stone really do enjoy hanging out together...
** Episode 24: Night Ranger collects magazines with men in what Daphne calls "mankinis."
** Also, Principal Quinlen and Angel Dynamite.
** In episode three, Rung Ladderton and Fred comment on each other's ascots... and then swap saying how good they look on each other.

** [[spoiler: How about the season finale? Mayor Jones took Fred away from his real parents and was the Freak of Crystal Cove, Pericles has two of the disc pieces and the gang is being split up!!!]]

** First, we have the locket from episode 1. Members of the original Mystery Inc. had them and it was considered their symbol. [[spoiler: It was Judy's locket and the picture inside are actually Fred's REAL Parents, which explains Mayor Jones' expression when he saw it!!]]

* OfficialCouple: Velma and Shaggy are dating, but Shaggy does not want to be public about it. As of episode 10 [[spoiler:the relationship seems to have been scuttled]]. Fred and Daphne dated.

* RunawayTrain: Played straight near the end of '''The Wild Brood''', complete with knocked-out engineer, the brakes failing, destroyed bridge and the locomotive completely demolished in an explosion.

* [[DramaticThunder Thunderous Confrontation]]: Done near the end of '''The Shrieking Madness'''.

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: At the end of Episode 18, it turned out that the girl the dude in the costume was chasing was also after the Dragon's Heart ruby; she'd used [[LawfulStupid Shaggy's]] crush on her to manipulate [[XanatosGambit the gang into taking out the competition.]]

* HotMom: Daphne's mom - which makes sense, considering her daughters form a PinkBishoujoGhetto all by themselves.

* AsHimself: Harlan Ellison voices [[SelfDeprecation an unflattering portrayal of himself]] in episode 12.

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: Daphne's mother mentions that she's been taking night classes to become a notary, and states that knowledge is more important than beauty. Then she says that she's going to find out what a "notary" actually is before the final.

** Daphne at the end of episode 19, after not eating anything all day. Shaggy even remarks that this is the one time anyone has eaten more than him and Scooby.

* BigFancyHouse: Daphne's residence, naturally. Though it's interesting to note that in this incarnation, ''all'' of the lead characters come from wealthy families.

* FreezeFrameBonus: Sheriff Stone's pad during the first victim's interview.
